I think you're thinking of Gerry Studds (D-Mass.) who had a 1973 "relationship" with a then 17-year-old male congressional page.

And who was re-elected six times after the public disclosure of that.

I think you're right on the money that he's probably gay and definitely socially awkward, but I'm unwilling to label someone a child predator until there is real, solid proof. Call me crazy, but given how evil preying on children is, I want to be especially careful with that label.

If he is a child predator, then I hope he sees the inside of a cell for the rest of his life.

Is it any wonder the RNC chose Minnesota for the 2008 convention instead of Tampa, Florida? We may end up with a governor who's preferences are up for grabs. The RNC didn't want to take the chance of that guy giving a keynote speech at their convention. Or, maybe Florida is ready for a gay guv. I'm not.

Why would they black out all the dates except for July 29?

From Foley's House Website:

In addition to his committee assignment, Congressman Foley serves as a member of the House leadership as a Deputy Majority Whip. He is also Co-Chairman of the Missing and Exploited Childrens Caucus and Co-Chairman of the Travel and Tourism Caucus. A testimony to his commitment to youth, he also passed a law allowing volunteer youth-serving organizations to have access to F.B.I. fingerprint background checks when denied that access by state law.

Gee ain't is just "special" that NAMBLA had a representative in the Congress?

except that I see you act this way towards everybody.

How about giving us an example of that, since you seem so SURE of yourself.

Surely you can find an example of jveritas calling anybody besides you a troll.

We'll wait while you find a post and paste it right here.

OMG--I go to the market, and all he** breaks out!

This is very bad, right before the election, don't you agree?

His district is West Palm Beach. DRAFT RUSH LIMBAUGH!

That would be a tough one. Isn't Limbaugh still on Deferred Adjudication? Didn't he swear off international travel until this period ends? That would make it tough for him to be a Congressman, and the campaign will be brutal.

You see the difference, right?


I'm not sure if the guy's a pedo or not.
The kid was an intern for him, and he currently lives in LA.

I'm just saying I can see Foley's side of things. Maybe he is really friendly and giving.

Also, it is one thing to have people to assume you are gay, it is quite another to assume that you are a pedofile. By resigning, many people will assume the worse. The only reason to resign would be to allow for some doubt rather than have everything out in public.

Why not? He will win, no doubt. Then he can resign the seat and as long as we have a Rep Governor elected in Fla, the seat stays Rep.

Jaz, I have no doubt that this guy is a troll and eventually he will be banned.

Yes, Florida is about to elect a gay republican. Jim Davis the democrat, is going to take a fall so cc wins. Davis doesn't want to win and that's why he's not trying. It is pre-ordained that cc will win. cc has so much cash that he can pay off all his former companions to keep quiet.

I absolutely agree with you on this, those questions should be asked, but it doesn't change the bottom line here that Foley has got to go, period.

I think Frist is botoxing. Something about him has looked very different the last couple times I've seen him. Either that, or he's sick. As you know he's not running for reelection.

Yup. That's how to make lemonade out of lemons.
